Methods blogging

Here’s a nice piece by Karthik Ram, of Inundata, about RNCEP, an application whose introduction we recently published on Early View. RNCEP is a package of open-source R functions that make it easy to access and use two free, long-term, high-quality atmospheric data sets with global coverage, and comes highly recommended for anyone interested in climate data and questions related to global change! Related An introduction to RNCEP RNCEP … Continue reading Methods blogging

Heating up the forest

In our latest video Shannon Pellini demonstrates experimental equipment designed to simulate the effects of warmer air temperatures on forest ecosystems – and, particuarly, on arthropod communities. You can read a full account of their experimental methods, and results from two contemporaneous trials at Harvard Forest and Duke Forest, in their recently published paper, Heating up the forest: open-top chamber warming manipulation of arthropod communities … Continue reading Heating up the forest

Methods in Biogeography

The International Biogeography Society has just held their 5th meeting in Crete and I thought I would pick some highlights that are methods relevant.  This meeting brings together a range of researchers from the intersection of ecology, evolutionary biology, geography, geology and systematics: a truly diverse grouping. Biogeography is, in essence concerned with the distributions of species and how these change with time. It is … Continue reading Methods in Biogeography
